Second Hand children's clothing – keep Vainio clothes in circulation
→ Browse Second Hand products
We have accidentally created a very bad business…
Our satisfied customers do not need to buy our products at the usual pace, because Vainio clothes last longer than expected.
Fortunately, our goal from the very beginning has been to reduce textile waste.
That is why you can return your old Vainio children's clothes to us, and we reward you with up to €15 in store credit for our online store.
Vainio Fam members receive an additional 20%. ❤️
We made a mistake in product design
We made another mistake when designing our products.
Based on the feedback we have received, our clothes turned out to be far too comfortable, and children love wearing them.
But because children grow quickly, clothes become too small sooner or later.
Through our Second Hand service, you can update your children's wardrobe for less while they continue playing in high-quality Finnish-made children's clothing.

Second Hand children's clothing – familiar quality for less
Our Second Hand selection offers the familiar Vainio quality at a competitive price.
As a rule, we only accept clean garments that are intact.
Because our products are designed for a long useful life, minor wear is not necessarily a problem. For example, we can replace:
- reinforcement fabrics
- leg cuffs
- adjustable waist elastics
This allows Päntz to be restored to near-new condition and made ready for a new wearer. If your product needs restoration for some other reason, we can also repair it for you. Read more about our repair services here.
